    Umbraco Forms 4.2.1 -> 4.3.0 Fails through installed packages & nuget & upgrade from Forms page

    Hey guys,

    Anyone had any trouble upgrading to Umbraco forms 4.3? I was coming from 4.2.1 and every time I upgrade and click on Forms it is completely empty screen. I see no errors in the angular calls.

    Permissions are fine.. I have tried Nuget fresh install (no UF tables in database etc). Nuget fails the worst actually, after everything the "version" file is missing.. Which i manually placed back with 4.3.0.

    Nothing is working. I have a license from the previous site I worked on for localhost, but always purchase a new license as my deployment process.. Could that be the reason this is all failing?

    One other thought.. Reinstalling changes the schema from dbo. to my SQL login.. So those tables are the only tables with the schema of SQL db login.

    I just upgraded from 4.2.1 to 4.3 and now I cannot edit my forms.... they do not show up in back office at all, and all my forms are blank. I cannot create new forms either. Boss and client are FREAKING OUT. Can I go back to 4.2.1? Someone please help!

    Hi MikeD, sorry to hear you're experiencing this.. I ultimately rolled back by restoring a database backup before upgrading, and grabbed the last commit of /App_Plugins/Forms folder from our repo. and the DLL's of course.

    Were you able to grab a database backup before upgrading?

    I can also confirm that the new forms works fine on a fresh install of Umbraco (tested earlier)..

    If you don't have database backups, other things worth trying that I simply did not have time for before my roll-back.

    • Create a new user. This sounds odd, but on the fresh install above I was seeing weird Get User Permissions ID = 0 in my console. (don't recall exactly). Try creating a new user and assigning Forms permission manually.
    • Right click content -> Refresh (cache refresh)
    • Browser clear all cache, flush cookies and such ( I was not receiving console errors )
    • re-copy the 4.3 plugin files into your project, could be an upgrade issue where not all files make it over
    • copy the 4.2.1 files back but this is risky.. I have no idea how their database schema changed from 4.2.1 -> 4.3.

    Be careful using Uninstall package option if you installed via the package repo in back office.. Ii will remove the tables on you.

    Sorry I can't be more help - hope you have backups as well all-else. I will also note, that the workflow is moved within the view, so if you're not seeing that node don't fear.. That's part of the new version.

    -Marc

    Has anyone been able to upgrade to 4.3 at all?! I've tried it literally over 10 times on several different Umbraco installations.. I gave up on 4.3.0 and just tried again with 4.3.2 .. Nuget, backoffice upgrade, localhost, live server, manual copy package files.. nothing works.

    Driving me crazy especially since clients have to pay $100+ for something that doesn't work.

    Still getting empty screens in backoffice, errors about missing JSON files. Create new form is empty, template is completely empty, not top bar doesn't even display.

    Is 4.3+ only for fresh installs?
